I worked on layout design, color scripting, and environment illustration& painting for the film, a total of 84 scenes prepped for animation 🐌🐌🐌
The color script follows the protagonist's day, from morning to sunset, and has two main emotional beats, one in the darker wet area under the wheel where Sasha meets Misha, and the second, more expansive one, after his shocking realization with Nikita.
"The settings are just about as whimsical as they need to be to evoke a believable fantasy world, and the film’s chromatics evolve with the storyline in interesting fashion, ensuring subtle dramaturgical guidance for the viewer: light, childish shades of blue and green at the beginning, darker blue nuances at the first turning point, then red and purple hues as we leap towards the climax." - Vlad Marina in GoCritic!
